How to Determine Energy Value in Food Products

The amount of energy obtained from consuming a food product can be determined in two different ways.

1. Calorimeter Method

The first method is determining the energy value using a bomb calorimeter. In this method, the food sample is burned in a controlled environment and the amount of energy released is measured.

2. Calculation Method

The second method is based on calculation. You can calculate the energy amount that the relevant food will provide by using a reliable data database (such as the Nutrient Finder database).

We are ready to cooperate for your needs in calculating nutrients and preparing food labels in compliance with regulations.
